Hi all,
I have some 600x450 pixel photos and want to reduce their size to 60K and keep the aspect ratio, GIMP can't do it , anyone know of a Linux photo manipulation SW for batch processing photos?
I do not know of a way to reduce with the goal of changing the file size. I can tell you how to batch convert files to a particular resolution. Save this batch program and run to change images to 600 pixels wide jpeg quality 85. It will take all files you list on the command line.
#!/bin/bash
for input in $@ do base=`echo $input | sed 's/(.*)..*$/\1/'` ## echo "SUF" $SUF "base" $base suffix="600.jpg" /usr/bin/convert $input -resize 600x -quality 85 $base$suffix
done
